What time is it?

As per title - approx. what time of day was the below 'photo' taken?

Posted on the CIA twitter; a bit less tricky than the GCHQ teasers so make of that what you will

Morning, schoolchildren have just arrived at school, sun rising, street lights haven't gone off yet.

or

Afternoon, buses waiting for the children to leave school, sun setting street lights have just come on.

Nobody skiing or on the lifts, no pedestrians and just once car moving.

3pm going by the tyre tracks and the street light being on. most cars seem frost free too.

Trick question; it isn't a photo.

It's a photo alright, but it's a diorama & thus the photographimage could have been captured at any time of day.

Just off out to check the dead-letter drop...

Lockdown?

Are the slopes more likely be north-facing or south-facing?

Late afternoon, assuming the image is from the northern hemisphere.

The sun comes from the south of the buildings, image shows shadows to the east, then it must be afternoon as the sun is setting in the west.

4pm(ish) due to the school buses.

Sorry...genuine question and I might be being dumb, but how do you work out which way is North? That photo could have been taken from any direction?

Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so early sun = shadows created from east to west and late sun = shadows created from west to east.

When this was originally posted three options were listed:

7am
11am
3pm

Not difficult to work out with one being able to be discounted almost immediately.
